Destiny Only Han

Chapter 147 Efficiency
As the sun gradually rises, the weather gradually becomes hotter.

Liu Ying saw that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so she persuaded Liu Taigong and Liu Fei who wanted to go to the forest to go home.

The Qinling Mountains in this period was almost equal to the primeval forest, and the number of tigers, leopards and wolves was by no means a small number. When there were few people walking into the depths of the forest, it was very likely that they would be attacked by wild animals.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

If you want to play in the forest, it is best to call the local hunter and bring a dozen or dozens of hounds.

In this way, even if you encounter top predators such as tigers or bears, you will not lose the wind, and you can even fight back easily!

After listening to Liu Ying's statement, Grandpa Liu nodded approvingly. He would be fearless if he was alone, but he still has two children with him, so it's better not to take any risks.

…………

Nanzheng Chengbei Farm.

Taigong Liu got off the carriage and walked towards his temporary residence with the dejected goshawk in his arms.

He had a very fulfilling life during this time. After Liu Ying revealed his identity as a farmer, the old man simply stopped pretending, and "floated" all day long between the livestock breeding base of the Dahan Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Trading Co., Ltd. and the farm here, pointing fingers.

Well, because of this incident, I often quarreled with local old farmers in Hanzhong.

After all, there are differences in temperature, humidity, and soil between Hanzhong and Peisi. When guiding agricultural production, it is necessary to formulate appropriate policies based on local conditions.

One size fits all, obviously it won't work.

This is also one of the reasons why people in the world have suffered from Qin for a long time.

The Qin State is a centralized government. After unifying the world, it began to impose its own laws and regulations. Other laws and regulations are fine. Criminal or civil crimes such as murder, wounding, and theft are acceptable to the common people.

However, Qin laws are complicated, especially in agricultural production, and they are comprehensive.

Among the laws and regulations, there are even strict standards for when to farm and how many seeds to sow per mu of land.

But the crux of the problem is that you can't use all the land in the world to forcefully match your effective agricultural experience in Guanzhong.

People coax the land, and the ground coaxes the belly.

Missing the farming season, or working in the wrong way can only harm others and oneself.

However, the officials sent by the state of Qin to various places, especially many officials who came from academia and became stunned by studying the law, were even more rigid and dogmatic.

If you don't listen to his blind instructions, he will rule you with Qin Law...

Therefore, after the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings, it was not unreasonable that people from all over the country killed the officials sent by the Qin State one after another.

Outside the farm, Liu Ying got off the carriage and looked at Taigong Liu's back, especially the movement of him catching the goshawk, which made Liu Ying feel weird.

Until he saw the big dead rooster in Liu Fei's hand, he suddenly realized.

Lao Lao Liu's movement of catching an eagle is exactly the same as that of catching a chicken!
Liu Fei walked up to him and raised the big cock in his hand: "Brother, I'll boil the water to scald the hair first, and you'll do it later! Well, your cooking is delicious..."

As an elder brother, he was a little ashamed to order Liu Ying, who was younger than him, to work.

Liu Ying smiled all over her face: "No problem, wrap it on me! Oh, by the way, when you boil the water, remember to get some warm water to soak those dried mushrooms!"

Liu Fei nodded vigorously, and ran to the small wooden house in the distance.

The mushroom Liu Ying mentioned refers to the dried hazel mushroom, which is a mushroom that grows in the coniferous broad-leaved forest. It is the main ingredient of chicken stewed mushrooms.

Well, this kind of mushroom grows in many parts of the country, and it is not unique to the Northeast.

After Liu Fei left, Liu Ying called a steward of the farm and asked him to take her to the west side of the farm.

There, the epoch-making product of cement is being used for infrastructure construction.

Some time ago, the first batch of cement was finally successfully refined. Although it is not very strong, it is barely usable, so we just need to follow the example and continue to produce.

Except for Liu Ying leaving a small quota for the coal and iron trading company to build houses and workshops and harden the ground, the rest was transferred to the farm to lay a threshing floor for drying and threshing grain.

A threshing floor paved with cement is much more convenient than compacted soil, and it can save a lot of manpower when working.

After a while, Liu Ying saw a familiar figure, Xiao He.

He hurried forward to salute: "Teacher."

Xiao He nodded slightly, and looked around: "That's right, every time I come here, I can always see some new tricks. How much is a plow pulled by two oxen?"

Liu Ying scratched her head, pointed to the common plow plowing the land in the distance, and tentatively said, "[-] yuan?"

Xiao He frowned: "It's too expensive, [-] yuan, if you can accept it, first get a hundred and send it over."

Liu Ying suddenly felt incapable of accepting it: "Teacher, other people's bargaining price can be cut in half at most, but you cut it from the ankle!"

Xiao He was unmoved: "A Quyuanli is only worth more than a thousand dollars. Is your iron plow made of gold or silver? Thirty thousand dollars? If I dare to give it, do you dare to take it?"

Well, there was actually silver in this period. For example, the state of Chu used silver to make cloth coins as an intermediate currency between copper ant nose coins and gold Ying'ai coins.

Liu Ying heard the business opportunity from Xiao He's words, so she started the sales promotion mode: "Teacher, look, although the student's share plow is not made of gold and silver, it is all made of refined steel. You think it is expensive, but I don't Expensive!"

"And you have also seen, teacher, that in other places, one cow and one person can only plow two acres of land a day at best, but here, plowing ten acres a day is only the most basic. If you are full of food and drink, you can plow fifteen acres a day." Not to mention..."

"Nowadays, Hanzhong is sparsely populated, and the most needed thing is efficiency. The students' [-] mu of land will be able to sow seeds in a short time. Even if they plant some beans casually, they will not only make a lot of money, but also raise the land, and the beans will be made. Tofu or the bean dregs left after oil extraction can also be used to feed cows..."

Xiao He raised his hand to interrupt his eloquence: "Fifteen thousand, nothing more."

Liu Ying thought for a while, the iron material money of this thing, including the cost, is only about 1 yuan. Although the income is not much, it can be regarded as adding bricks and tiles to the big man!

He nodded: "No problem, teacher, can the money be settled now? You know, the pressure on the student's capital chain has been a bit heavy recently."

Well, the main thing is that after accepting the more than 4000 slaves, just feeding them every day is a huge expense!
And in order to stimulate their enthusiasm for production, Liu Ying also paid them wages, six dollars a day, although it is a little less than the thirty dollars a day of other miners, but after five years of work, they can pay for themselves or their families ransom...

Xiao He lowered his head and looked at Liu Ying. He naturally knew the problem Liu Ying was facing now, so he just smiled without saying a word.

Liu Ying raised her head and began to brew emotions: "Teacher, you insist on me crying for you!"

He felt that since he traveled through time, his ability to cry when he talked and laughed when he talked and laughed became stronger and stronger. He knew that during the college entrance examination, he would not listen to the opinions of his family and teachers when he was beaten to death. Go apply for film and television academy.

Relying on his good looks, he achieves top status every minute, every day is refreshing!
Xiao He patted his head and said with a smile: "Okay, the teacher promised you, but you have to finish the work as soon as possible, so as not to delay the next autumn sowing."

Liu Ying nodded vigorously, and said with some regret: "In fact, the best partner of this kind of plow is a horse instead of a cow. If you replace it with a horse, the efficiency can be doubled at least!"

Xiao He smiled and shook his head: "I really don't know how expensive Chai Mi is if you are not in charge of the family! Do you know that the husband and the horse are the food for the six members of the family, and the dead man is alone?"

"Besides, the most important thing is that there is a shortage of horses in Hanzhong, but after your father conquers Longxi, not only will he get a pasture for raising horses, but he can also buy a large number of horses from the Qiang people."

Liu Ying raised her small face and asked in surprise, "Has father defeated Zhang Han?"

Xiao He shook his head: "Yesterday, I received the battle report, saying that Han Xin fought in Rang Township, defeated the main force of the Three-Qin Allied Forces, and took more than [-] prisoners, but Zhang Han took advantage of the chaos and rode across Jingshui to flee to the abandoned hills."

"However, the general situation of the Three Qin Dynasty is over, and it is only a matter of time before Zhang Han is completely defeated. Now your father divides his troops to attack all parts of the Yong Kingdom, and the one who attacked Longxi is the Li Shang you are very familiar with."

What he didn't say was that after the great victory, Han Xin sent his troops to Liangshan Palace, defeated Zhang Ping, and beheaded all the more than 3000 prisoners who surrendered...

Liu Ying's eyes lit up: "Then, what about those prisoners of war? Did my father say how he plans to arrange them?"

Xiao He stretched out his finger, and tapped his head: "Of course it was incorporated into the army to serve, what bad idea did you come up with?"

Liu Ying covered her head, her face was speechless: "Students can have evil intentions? The students just don't want others to suffer, and want to help them find a job..."

Xiao He sneered and raised his head: "Hehe."

His gaze was fascinated by the craftsmen who were mixing cement in the distance.

This is a rare thing he came across this time. Those slimy, muddy soup-like things are not inferior to stubborn stones after solidification!

It's just that he glanced at Liu Ying, the teacher's dignity made it difficult for him to ask his students.

Liu Ying pretended not to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Teacher, today we will have stewed chicken and mushrooms for lunch, do you want to stay with us?"

Xiao He felt a little uneasy. Although Liu Ying was his student, but he was soft-spoken, if Liu Ying took the opportunity to propose something too extreme, should he agree?

…………

Qi State, Linzi.

It was getting dark, Qi Wangtianshi put down the bamboo slips in his hand as before, picked up the last piece of pastry on the plate and swallowed it, ready to go to bed.

He is just a child who is not yet an adult, so he doesn't have any rich nightlife.

It's just that not long after he lay down, he heard a series of sounds of metal and iron clanging outside, as well as the wailing of dying.

When he sat up and wanted to go out to check, the door of the bedroom was kicked open.

Under the flickering torch, he saw the identity of the person coming, Peng Yue.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"kill you."

Peng Yue responded concisely, raising his blood-stained long sword.
